First format screw, although there is a perfectly normal SCP buried in there.

At one point, this was intended as an entry for the 2015 Tag-Less Challenge. It only gets 10 points there, because it does have three additional tags, but the object class tag is unclassed to make up for that. This wasn't originally made for that, but then I found out about it and decided to shift it up to make it work. (If I really wanted, I probably could have made this a generic warping event, not necessarily a CK)

The one big thing I had to change was a list of GoI responses I had included at one point. I've included them below (as a note, they're all meant to be canon to the article). Now that it's gotten tagged with a couple tags, I could add these back, but I think the article works better the way it is right now.

Other GoI's that monitor the integrity of reality have been reached as to whether or not they also experienced a similar event at 0427 UTC, 18/03/2016. All that have responded have indicated their detectors also malfunctioned:1

Global Occult Coalition: "… while we will not elaborate on the methods we used to determine if such an event took place, we can confirm that we detected an event such as you have described …"

(Also: our database cross checkers were only set up to register if there were discrepancies and where they were, but not what those discrepancies actually were. The idea was that we'd have the data to actually crosscheck.

Needs a bit of an edit sweep (for instance, it happened at the time, not on the time), and it's got a very soft ending (I was waiting for a whammy), but I love the overwhelming sense of "Did something happened, what was it, would we even know if it had, and why don't we?" It's like what I was trying to do with 2832, and I love anything that paints the Foundation as not the all-knowing jailors they like to think they are. :D

This was a great read. I really like how technical it is. My favorite part is this:

1) Synced pseudo-random number generators located in baseline and extradimensional; designed to generate numbers in the same fashion, and thus, provide the same numbers
2) Kant and Geiger counters physically located in extradimensional/anchored reality but monitoring baseline reality
3) Atomic clocks synced to one another
4) Regular database cross references, functioning by hashing random sections of the database and comparing hashes to each other
5) Applied thaumaturgical sensors set up to alarm if a large change in the state of reality is detected
6) Electromagnetical sensors detecting any sudden changes in background elecromagnetic radiation patterns in baseline

All of these except 2a and 5 are entirely possible IRL and would actually make sense to do if one truly thought reality had a chance to change. Very clever! You put a lot of thought into this and it shows. There's also a lot of crosslinking porn, and while I'm not always a fan of that, it works very well in this context.

These new devices are to utilize a wider spectrum of mechanisms in order to detect any potential changes to reality, which testing involving localized CK-Class Scenarios testing the effectiveness of these techniques.

I cannot parse the latter half of this. I think you mean to say something like:

These new devices are to utilize a wider spectrum of mechanisms in order to detect any potential changes to reality. Localized CK-Class Scenarios will be induced by personnel in order to test the effectiveness of these techniques.

Once all Mark II CSDs have been constructed and tested in rigorous settings, they are to be installed in any and all sites that meet the Reality Integrity Division's guidelines on a reality-anchored location.

Testing doesn't automagically mean they work, so it makes no sense to use them just because they've put them 'in rigorous settings'. This is also a bit redundant from what just came before, so I think it just needs to be rewritten to more seamlessly follow from the previous sentence.

In general, this is any site/area/LoI that is either located in a location with an abnormally high Hume level, artificially reality anchored, or located in an extradimensional location, even those we don't have sites in.

This makes little semantic sense in context, and is a bit of a mess to the point where I couldn't find the proper way to restructure it, so you can thank The Great Hippo for this suggestion:

This is any site, area, or LoI that is either extradimensional or located in a region with an abnormally high Hume level.

You don't need to state 'in general' you're already giving the breakdown, you don't need the last bit because you already mention 'any area' that fits these parameters, which already includes places that may not have a site.

extradimensionally located or reality anchored Foundation site.

Should these be hyphenated?

The only evidence for SCP-3557's occurrence is the simultaneous activation of all CSDs (CK-Class Scenario Detectors) located at every extradimensionally located or reality anchored Foundation site.6 At 0427 UTC, 18/03/2016, each extradimensional or reality anchored site sent an automated message to all Foundation sites denoting that a CK-Class Scenario occurred

The second sentence is incredibly verbose for how little information it actually imparts.

I'll cut it off here.

TLDR small SPaG issues aside, there are quite a few places where it's too verbose and technical for its own good, resulting in unwieldy phrasing and sentence construction. Format-screws are cool and all, but the writing needs to be good enough to support it, and shouldn't be overlooked to this degree.

Footnotes

1. Several of which I fixed, before I realized how many small issues there were

The first event is incredibly unlikely, but entirely possible. Our knowledge of CK-Class events has major holes and gaps - we've only seen one total CK-Class shift, and everything else has been small.

My problem with this is one of my major problems with SCP-2798, and that would be that it assumed there was an SCP-001 to begin with. Yes, I know, different canons and what not and I know I can headcanon that part out, but it's just a tad bit harder to do.

Secondly, it's the use of the word ''hypothesis''. I'm pretty sure you're all smart enough to know what that means, so I'm not going to explain it. Yes, the Foundation might have the equipment needed to measure what the hell went on with the SCP itself, but they don't seem to be getting that many results.

I know I said I wouldn't explain what the word meant, but a hypothesis is a statement that can be tested. If the Foundation doesn't even know how to test it, why are they using the term hypothesis? I'm probably going to be corrected on this, so don't be afraid to offend me.

That's all.

Sorry for my lack of a format, I haven't been using the comment section here in a long while.

I've replaced all the instances of hypothesis in the article with theory.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, but I think it's that you're objecting to the crosslinking to a 001 proposal?

I understand how some people might not like that, and that's personal preference. My personal headcanon is that there are multiple 001s, and that's evident in this article. (There are crosslinks to two 001s in the article - Wrong and spikebrennan). I'm not trying to hold up any 001 as "canon" but rather I just included some I thought worked. I wanted another reality anchored site, Facility T made sense. There are noticeable similarities between this and Wrong Proposal, so I felt a crosslink would make sense. (In fact, this has now been crosslinked on the Wrong Proposal by Mr. Wrong)

If you don't like the 001 crosslinks, then you can just ignore them or treat them differently. The one CK they've seen doesn't have to be the Wrong Proposal, and Facility T doesn't have to be God's Blind Spot. They're not major parts of the article.

If I may add on, as part of my framing in my 001 proposal, said proposal was framed as something that is about to change its own SCP number. The basis for that plot point is that the 001 slot (and practically every other slot) are interchangeable variables, to be filled in by any anomaly freely.

If 3557 actually did create a new reality, the new reality would not be any more or less inherently anomalous than what came before it. As such, there wouldn't be any cause for them to die off in the new reality.

2608 can survive in baseline reality after 3557. What does that mean? Well, it could mean nothing happened, it could mean that reality snapped back to normal, or it could mean that there's no anomalous indicators normally present in the new, changed reality.
